Day of Mourning remembers workers who have lost their lives

The death and injury of workers is a tragedy not just for the families of the deceased workers, but for all Saskatchewan residents, Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said. The best way we can honour those who have lost their lives from workplace injuries or illness is to take responsibility for health and safety in the workplace to ensure that all workers go home safe at the end of the day. We offer our condolences to those who have been impacted by the loss of a family member, colleague or friend, Saskatchewan Workers Compensation Board (WCB) Chairperson Gord Dobrowolsky said. This is a day for all of us to recommit ourselves to Mission: Zero and to preventing workplace fatalities, injuries, and illnesses.

Saskatchewan workplace injury rates decreased in 2020

In 2020, the Time Loss injury rate decreased to 1.78 per 100 workers, a decrease of 0.08 per 100 workers, or by 4.3 per cent, from the 2019 rate of 1.86 per 100 workers. The 2020 Time Loss injury rate is the lowest rate in more than a decade. “Although the reductions in the Total injury and Time Loss injury rates are a step in the right direction,” said Minister Responsible for WCB, Don Morgan, “every workplace injury in Saskatchewan is one too many. We cannot become complacent in our efforts to make all workplaces safe.” Claims have also decreased: • Total claims accepted decreased by 16 per cent to 17,944 in 2020 from 21,473 in 2019. The total number of workers covered decreased to 402,306 in 2020 from 433,622 in 2019.

Asphalt company held responsible for worker s death

After an investigation by Occupational Health and Safety from the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety, BLS Asphalt was charged with three criminal offences. “The Court finds that although BLS provided information on safety on the crusher site, it did not provide information, instruction, training or supervision on the clearing of the chute that led to Mr. Lucyk becoming entangled in the tail pulley,” ruled Justice Michelle R. Brass in Weyburn Provincial Court. BLS Asphalt was also found guilty on the charge that they failed to provide an effective safeguard where a worker may contact a dangerous moving part of the tail pulley. This failure resulted in the death of Lucyk.
